"My father was a monster": Onyango Otieno on surviving childhood violence. Part 1

In this deeply moving episode of Voices At The Edge, I sit down with poet, podcaster, and storyteller Onyango Otieno (Rix Poet) to have an honest and unflinching conversation about growing up in a household marred by domestic violence and child abuse. Onyango courageously takes us back to his childhood, painting a picture of what it was like to live in a home where violence was normalized, love was conditional, and silence was often the only survival tool. He speaks candidly about the scars those experiences left on him and, more importantly, the steps he has taken on his healing journey. From the role of art and poetry in helping him process trauma, to the importance of therapy, self-reflection, and community, Onyango shares insights that are both personal and universal. His story reminds us that while trauma can shape us, it does not have to define us and healing, though non-linear, is possible. This conversation is not just about pain, but also about resilience, vulnerability, and hope. Whether you are a survivor, know someone who has walked through similar experiences, or simply want to understand the impact of domestic violence on children and adults, this episode will leave you challenged, moved, and inspired. 👉 Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe to Voices At The Edge to amplify more survivor stories and conversations that matter. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of child abuse, suicide and domestic violence, which may be distressing to some viewers.
